The secretary of the CGIL Maurizio Landini in an interview with the Republic returns to the reasons for the general strike: "That of the government is a socially unjust maneuver", he affirms.
"Draghi tried to propose a point of mediation with his majority by putting forward the idea of excluding incomes over 75 thousand euros from the tax benefit for one year. On this he was brutally placed in the minority by the parties of his majority", which "they think more about their own electoral flags than about Italy's interests", he adds.
La Stampa also publishes an interview on the subject with Landini.
"We are going on strike because that of the government is a socially unjust maneuver and we want to change it: it ignores the conditions in which the vast majority of employees and pensioners live and the point of view of those who represent them", says Landini. An unmotivated strike? "It is an unfounded objection - he replies -. For months, the government has received our unitary requests on taxation, pensions, industrial policies and the fight against precariousness. The answers are not adequate", "the budget law does not produce that social justice. which the country needs. Is there justice when work is increasingly precarious? ".
"We noted that the majority did not intend to change the agreement made on the tax authorities and that they had also rejected the proposal of the Prime Minister - he adds -. So, we resort to strike because the spaces for discussion have closed and the union must do everything. everything possible to bring home results in favor of those he represents ", adds Landini.
According to which, in any case, "the authority that" Draghi "has given to the country is not in question".
Why did the union unity break down?
"We strike by supporting the reasons for the unified platform also written with the CISL. We are consistent", he replies.
